We are thrilled to announce that TIME has been shortlisted for both Best BPR Manager and Best AIM Manager at the 2017 Growth Investor Awards.

Finalists will now move on to a second round of judging to determine the winner in each award category. Daniel Kiernan, Intelligent Partnership’s Research Director heads up the Advisory Board, which represents different sections of the fund management, alternative investment and SME community. He said: “These awards were designed in consultation with the SME industry. An independent panel of judges for each category is drawn from within and outside the industry – to bring a range of perspectives and to provide a level playing field. Having such a robust and comprehensive judging process really underscores the credibility and prestige of these awards.”

Nigel Ashfield, Managing Director of TIME Investments commented:“We are once again honoured and delighted to be a finalist at the Growth Investor Awards. Making the shortlist for Best BPR Manager for the third consecutive year is a great privilege and one we are extremely proud of. We set out to build a lower risk service that could offer a similar net investor return to what was already on the market. Our service has proved both popular and successful with IFAs and receiving further industry recognition of this is a great honour. On top of that, we launched our ‘smart passive’ AIM BPR service, TIME:AIM, in late 2016 and while adviser feedback has been strong, to make the shortlist for Best AIM Manger alongside some very well established competitors is a simply fantastic.”

Guy Tolhurst, Managing Director of Intelligent Partnership, said:“The Growth Investor Awards measure the impact of talent, technology and innovative thinking within Britain’s thriving smaller company ecosystem. We want to honour all those industry leaders who day-in, day-out display the ability, bravery and commitment needed to back entrepreneurs and help drive Britain’s economic growth from the bottom up.

We are delighted that the role played by TIME has been recognised with this 2017 Growth Investor Awards shortlisting, within fiercely contested categories. I’d like to personally wish TIME Investments the very best of luck, and we hope to see you on the winners’ stage in November.”

The winner will be announced at an exclusive black tie awards dinner, which will be held on Wednesday 8 November at the Royal Lancaster Hotel, London.
